Summary

Traumatic orthopedic injuries in the elderly patient present both a medical and surgical challenge. This growing population requires management tailored to specific patient needs and particular attention to bone quality and soft tissue management to avoid complications. Injury treatment is dependent on host factors, injury factors, and other special considerations in order to optimize outcome. The goal of treatment in the elderly patient is to allow for return to preinjury functional status, obtain fracture healing, and restore mobility. This chapter will focus on the treatment of some of the most common musculoskeletal injuries encountered in the elderly, including proximal humerus fractures, wrist fractures, hip fractures, ankle fractures, and vertebral compression fractures.
